One of the best sims ever IMO... 1996 Jane's Ah-64 Longbow.
What made it a great sim? Details, man, details. You really had to have your kit together not only to fly the AH-64 and it's armament, but to understand the intel, rules of engagement and battle plans... You had control over almost every aspect of the sim. Portions of the manual came directly from Jane's Military database.
Coming back from a successful mission was a very gratifying experience if you lived...
I'd love to see an incarnation of SH that had that kind of detail. The modders are getting there, but the AI, Wolfpacking and some other aspects are in the core code and not reachable by mods.
